Starware Symptoms
If you answer “yes” to any of the Starware symptoms listed below, you may have Starware or other types of parasites installed on your computer. Keep in mind that the symptoms of Starware and other unwanted software infections vary.
Starware may install without your knowledge or consent. Downloading shareware/freeware software or visiting questionable websites might lead to a Starware infection. Once installed, Starware can compromise your privacy by transmitting your personal information and downloading popup advertisements.
Starware may monitor your surfing habits. Once installed, Starware or other types of parasites can do almost anything. It can tracks which websites you visited or what terms you’ve typed. Spyware uses your information to deliver targeted ads to you. Also, data of your surfing activities may be sold to third parties.
Starware may bombard you with popup ads. Starware may display annoying popups while you surf the Web. You might have Starware or other types of parasites on your computer if you see pop-up advertising, even when you are not on the Web or when your computer has been idle for many minutes.
Starware may hijack, redirect and change your Web browser. When your Web browser’s home page unexpectedly changes without your consent or your Web browser suddenly closes or stops responding, you might be infected with Starware. Also, in other cases new toolbars appear on your Web browser and you can’t get rid of it.
Slow computer performance. A sluggish computer is one of the easiest signs that you have been infected with Starware. Starware and other unwanted sofware use your computer’s resources to do its nasty tasks such as displaying popups or tracking your surfing activities. If you see your computer is slowing down dramatically or crashing a lot, you may be infected with an unwanted software.
Help! I have Starware. What do I do?
Your privacy has been compromised and you no longer have control over your computer. What do you do? You panic and try to search for the number of a computer repair company? No! The best approach is to find a reliable anti-spyware program to run a spyware check.
